Recent dog attacks, owned normal dogs attacks people! Norwegian links.

Hello, for the last couple of days ive read about this dramatic dog attacks by friendly dogs.
The oddly enough just take a charge and tries to eat you.
but here is a thing, these things does usually not happen here. But ive read 4 cases the last week, have in mind that this is a small country!
Here is a link to the most recent, women attack by own dog, arm almost bit OFF?

There is more, so ill post more links later. If there is even a interest!

So this is my question to you, why all of a sudden is the dogs beginning to attack at will? Is it something more behind it? The first thing that popped to my mind was the agressive dogs in the movie Signs with Mel Gibson.

And please use a translate program for these links.
Appriciate all answers!
Sorry for the poor English.

Peace, NorwegianT

Some dogs seem to be annoyed by something yes but it is not all dogs. But I remember 2 dogs this year that truely have been overly aggressive and I have never noticed it before.

This did not just start happening, there are over 12,000 dog attacks EVERY DAY in the US alone. Why is this news to you? It's like asking what's up with cats lately they have been making a weird meow sound.

As i wrote in the opening post, remember this is a small country. And yes there is many aggressive dogs around, but here this is news to me, because of the scale and the serious attacks. But hey, im just looking for Some answers. Because this is getting worse than it normally is. Thats why. But thanks for the answer, maybe im overreacting.

Our perceptions are shaped by what we know. If there is not much to report and they want to focus on some dog attacks to fill some space it might make you think this is something new. It's not though, dog attacks are very common, it's probably just a news trend lately and will trend to something else soon enough.

The energy in the atmosphere is increased during a solar maximum. This raises the frequency of brainwaves. If the brainwaves exceed the capability of the animal's ability to control the fight or flight mode may kick in. Just a guess, nothing to back it. The moon also has an effect on behavior.

That's why I would never own a big dog, lets see my cat try to bite me I'll pick him up and put him in the bathroom. I live in nyc and every hoodie and their baby's mamma own a pitbull and I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of pitbull aggression.

Just think of all the attacks, not reported..........



Dogs are animals, regardless if they are called "mans best friend".
